there are some finicky bulbs on the playfied, so you're not totally off base. Everytime I'm trying to work on it they're working and then later I come back and they're not, but I think at this point most are working.
I think you need to go back to Pinball 101 if you don't know what scoring any switch means. Basically we call that a frenzy, most notably from the frenzy mode in Funhouse. Any switch means anything on the playfield that scores points since everything that scores involves closing a switch to register the hit. This could be pop bumpers, slingshots, spinners, targets, anything. So that could really rack up points if you can keep your multiball alive long enough and hit lots of stuff. Typically in frenzies you want to aim for spinners and pop bumpers, but that's not really happening in this game, so it's just generally trying to cause as much chaos with the balls to hit lots of targets, and it also helps to stay in the upper playfield for as long as you can too since that's a tight space with plenty of switches to hit.
Also since there isn't a whole lot you need to do to get into multiball this game is all about getting into multiball and staying in multiball for as long as possible and then getting right back into it and don't tilt so you don't lose that big giant bonus.
I think they added the hot shot ramp just because there really isn't much to shoot for from the right flipper. The only thing I can think of to do with the right flipper is to try to backhand the heat bumper as it's not worth trying to hit the numbered targets from there.
